I love that BeOS/Haiku is still doing its thing, but I don't know what its thing is. The only "killer app/feature" I know of for Be/Haiku is https://www.tunetrackersystems.com/status.html a rad

If I've seen it already and don't want to discuss it more, I just don't click or comment on it. Sometimes I want to click something I've already read and see what other interesting comments are posted.

I was a Mac fan when it looked like BeOS was going to be the next Mac OS - some Mac magazines even sent bootable BeOS CD-ROMS. I remember booting my Performa to BeOS and being amazed how different the same hardware felt. After OS X, I worke

That might make you want to look at that list of organizations and then seek similar organizations or schools in Singapore, if you didn't already try. Good luck with the hum.
